Unit 1 A land of diversity多元化的社会晨读·记忆Immigrate to AmericaAttracted by the boom in America, my nephew teamed up with a Korean to illegally cross the Bearing Strait in the Arctic to America. To avoid the Customs’ punishment, they hid in a small ferry called the North Pole Seagull, sitting back to back without sleeping, showering and shaving for 3 days, and had no chance to mourn their lost luggage when landing. The hardship of this crossing was apparent. At first, he made a living by means of raising cattle and then was hired in aircraft industries. He lived in a Catholic district. Taking in a small percentage of Pakistani immigrants, the majority of the residents were from Italy and Denmark, who all kept up their customs and cultures. Different blocks here were distinctly marked out and indicated from the racial angle. It was unfair and needed reforming. But with nowhere else to go, my nephew lived on and managed to make a life for himself.My nephew’s fortune came when he bravely helped a conductor brake a ream to stop it from slipping out of the rails. The man was elected vice chairman of the Socialist Party later. It occurred to my nephew that he could grasp this opportunity to ask for his help. The man who was thankful helped him apply to the civil authority for the right to live in America by inserting his brave deed into his documents. Unlike a great many other applicants, his application was approved by the Federal Justice Ministry. Before long, he started his own bakery and lived a better life.移民美国因为受到美国繁荣的吸引，我的侄子与一名韩国人合作，从北极的白令海峡偷渡到美国。

Unit 1 A land of diversity李仕才***阅读理解。
To be sure, only children experienced some things differently fromthose with sisters and brothers. Many feel more pressure to succeed.They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in theabsence of brothers and sisters.In India, 10-year-old Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group forthe tiny minority of only children. Among other things, the group does volunteer work to counter(反对) the myth that they are not responsible. “People think we’re treat ed too kindly and ruined, ”says Sankpal, a computer engineering student. “But I’d like to remind them how lonely it can get. ”Most only children, however, say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging, unhealthy parents. Bri tain’s David Emerson, co-author of the book, The Only Child, says that such a person bears terrible burden in having to make all the decisions alone. Emerson knows from experience: After his father died, he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home, where she was vulnerable(易受攻击的) to house breakers, to a new one with more security. “The move was quite hard on her, and she might feel that I pushed her into it, ” he says. “After all, I am left with that responsibility. ”In the future, more and more only children will likely face similar choices. With working mothers increasing, many families are finding they simply don’t have the time, money or energy to have more than one child. As only children become common, perhaps the world will realize that the charge made against them is unjust. 【文章大意】本文主要讲述了独生子女在社会生活中所遇到的种种困难和各种挑战, 他们要面对社会对独生子女的诸多偏见。

I can't think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. Here are some special festivals around the world.★ Boryeong Mud Festival — Boryeong, South KoreaFor two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as a way of promotin g the region's mineralrich mud has turned into a festive party, complete with music and fireworks. While the mud is usually only available in cosmetic products, here you can cake (使……结块) yourself in grey as you want.★ HoliIndiaHoli, the Festival of Colours, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India's most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of bright coloured powder. The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, but the cheerful spirit is common throughout Hindu communities around the world.★ Koninginnedag — The NetherlandsAlthough their current Queen's birthday is really during the winter, the Queen still celebrates it on April 30th，the country's official “Queen's Day” since 1949. Orange is the national colour, and the streets become a sea of feather boas (长围巾) and body paint as crowds gather in the plazas (广场). Amsterdam is the centre of this outdoor party, with many live music acts, but nearly every town is alive with orange on this day.★ National Elephant Day in ThailandIn Thailand, March 13 is regarded as National Elephant Day to show that the Thai elephant plays an important role in the Thai history. Thai Elephant Day has been held on an annual basis since the idea was first approved by the Thai government in 1998. Special events are held at a number of venues in northern Thailand. At the Mae Sa Elephant Camp, it has become a tradition on March 13 for the dozens of elephants there to be treated to a huge feast of fruits and sugarcane.21．What we can learn from the passage is that ________.A. Boryeong Mud Festival was originally held to advertise for their mineralresourcesB. people around the world celebrate Holi differently to promote their religionsC. Koninginnedag — The Netherlands was celebrated on their current Queen's birthdayD. it is an international custom for the Thai elephant to eat all kinds of fruits and sugarcane答案与解析 A 由Boryeong Mud Festival一栏中第二句“began as a way of promoting the region's mineralrich mud”可知，保宁泥浆节一开始是为了宣传当地的矿土。
